What will we wear when we make our much-anticipated return to society? It’s a question that’s occupied our minds ever since we first began entertaining visions of a post-pandemic world. For the past year, our office blazers and party heels have given way to cozy—sometimes chic, and, er, sometimes not—sweatsuits and slip-on sandals. And our

In the early days of the pandemic, there were Zoom clothes: video meeting–appropriate pieces that fooled no one (we were all in sweatpants—or no pants—from the waist down). For prefall, a new variation has emerged: zoom-in clothes, garments peppered or patterned with logos so covert, so camouflaged, one must get close up to spot the

The First Monday in May is a holiday in the fashion world. Outside of awards season, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Gala (also known as the Met Gala) is the most star-studded celebrity event of the year. In 2020, the event, like pretty much everything else in 2020, was canceled because of

AB + DM Christian Serratos likes to make people cry. Fortunately, the actress’s most recent project, the second installment of Netflix’s Selena: The Series, offers ample opportunities. In one scene from Part 2 (premiering today), Serratos, who plays the iconic Tejano singer, is laying down vocals for “No Me Queda Más” in a recording booth

TikTok, what would we do without you? The app is now the go-to place to discover Amazon treasures—butt-lifting leggings, retro sunglasses, Gossip Girl-ready pleated skirts, to name a few—and if you’re someone who always has their eyeballs glued to their FYP, you’re aware that the it-pieces are consistently changing. Right now, it’s all about the

When it comes to fashion, famed film director Jean Cocteau did not mince words. “Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time,” he once said. “Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.” Within the cyclical nature of fashion, Chanel has always managed to curtail the

Xiye Bastida already knows what it means to have her life forever altered by the effects of climate change. The 19-year-old climate activist grew up in San Pedro Tultepec, Mexico, where unprecedented rainfall caused flooding that kept her from attending school. When she moved to New York City in 2015, she saw the damage caused

Some people were born into entrepreneurship, others planned for it. Then, there’s Liya Kebede who considers herself an “accidental entrepreneur.” For most international supermodels, you can almost predict their trajectory—supermodel status, then brand ambassador, then beauty brand or clothing line will follow suit. But Kebede’s path wasn’t that clear cut. When she refers to herself

What daughter hasn’t raided her mother’s closet at some point? Clomping around the house in a pair of too-big high heels is practically a sartorial rite of passage. But what if said mother happens to be the creative director of a major European fashion house? “I always felt she was drawn to it, but she

After costuming (alongside Adam Howe) the BBC series-turned-Netflix-hit The Serpent—based on the real-life hunt for a serial killer in Southeast Asia in the ’70s—she’s now speaking

There are few bags that stand the test of time better than a Chanel. Specifically, the Chanel 11.12 comes to mind when one even thinks of an iconic style. Colloquially known as the flap bag, the design first came on the scene in the ‘80s, when Karl Lagerfeld reimagined the house’s signature 2.55 (which was

Craig BarrittGetty Images Brandon Maxwell has quite the resume, from designing for Michelle Obama to Lady Gaga to his designs draping the bodies of Meghan Markle, Regina King, Anne Hathaway, and more. But before he was a purveyor of high-end fashion, he spent much of his childhood shopping for goods in Walmart. Today, Maxwell becomes

Rowan Blanchard was woke before we even knew what being awake meant. By the age of 13, the bubbly actress was a keynote speaker at UN Women’s HeForShe conference. In 2014, she openly discussed her struggles with depression, creating a public discourse around destigmatizing mental illness, and in 2017, she spoke at the Women’s March

It’s been a few years since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s October 2018 Australia royal tour, but one accessory to emerge from the trip has remained steadfast: the effortlessly chic Veja sneakers the Duchess of Sussex sported on a boat in Sydney. As anyone else who’s ever waited for a restock of Veja’s core styles

Country singer Ingrid Andress is attending her first Grammys from home, garnering three nominations for Best New Artist, Best Country Song for Andress’ single “More Hearts Than Mine,” and Best Country Album for her

Ironically enough, in Simone Rocha’s early days showing at London Fashion Week, the most truly subversive thing you could do was go against the punk-influenced grain of the time. Back when the leather-and-chain-clad off-duty model ruled, Rocha presented a counter-narrative larded with lace, bows, pearls, and, yes, even the dreaded pink. A look from the

Courtesy of Louis Vuitton Scientific research claims that the act of planning a trip, one you don’t even intend on taking, boosts dopamine levels the same way actually traveling can. With flight restrictions in play and the population still largely unvaccinated, the very thought of venturing outside of your country—hell, out of your borough—can induce

Courtesy of Chanel / Inez & Vinoodh We’ll be the first to admit there are things we don’t miss about fashion week: the rigid, never-ending itinerary; midnight deadlines; frantically searching for a bathroom between shows; the guilt associated with being tired, annoyed and overworked while being part of such a beautiful industry. But one thing

For her primetime interview with Oprah Winfrey, it’s clear that Meghan Markle wants her clothes to do at least some of the talking. Her dress, a stunning silk Armani gown, was chosen specifically for the television special because it features an embroidered lotus bloom, a flower believed to symbolize rebirth and resilience. 18kt Gold Aquamarine

From its embrace of the feminine mystique to an international, all-star fanbase that includes its newest face, Jisoo of Blackpink, to supernatural growth in sales in 2020 despite a global pandemic, the fashion house knows the power of storytelling.

You don’t come to Versace to wear brown. At least, that’s what its history of bold colors, J.Lo jungle prints, and ’90s black-and-gold power dressing have taught us. The brand is flipping the script for the fall 2021 season, introducing us to a new conversation within the Versace-verse: monogramming. Debuting a new monogram this season,

For all that didn’t happen this year—the concerts, the sporting events, the bar crawls, and the birthday parties—one thing remained constant: the fashion. It started with perfectly cinched sweatpants for baking bread and evolved into cheetah-printed chiffon inspired by Tiger King. We tuned into Zoom meetings wearing chic tops and very un-chic bottoms.

“I love dressing up, I just do not want to go out,” Laura Kim shares over Zoom, sitting next to Fernando Garcia. “If last night was any indication, people are thirsty for a little bit of a dressing up,” Garcia adds. It’s the day after yet another successful (albeit virtual) awards show for the designers,

Valentino’s last couture collection was an example of true decadence. Set in a gilded galleria, presenting gilded gowns, gilded nine-inch heels, and even gilded visages, the opulence was overt. In stark contrast, creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli’s fall offerings are subdued. The designer opted for a quieter runway, whispering in sweet nothings. In many ways, Piccioli

It was the early ’90s, and she was growing up in the obscure Russian town of Yemanzhelinsk, where her dad was a coal miner and her mother taught kindergarten music. “Sometimes there was no salary, or my mom
